FRENCH TRYSTS: SECRETS OF A COURTESAN
Kirsten Lobe

Reviewed by Samantha Andrick
Posted June 14, 2007

Women's Fiction | Romance

Basically penniless French art student Alexandra looks forward to the good things in life. At 25, she has no savings to speak of, but longs for the grace and sophistication of French women. Her whole life changes after meeting the richest man in France, who quickly turns her whole life upside down. She soon becomes the most sought after woman in France.

However, is this who she really wants to be? A courtesan catering to men? To discover true happiness, Alexandra must find out what and who she wants in life.

This is an entertaining, charming, not to mention very sexy, look inside the life of a courtesan. While Alexandra may seem shallow, in the end she shows true heart and courage. Kirsten Lobe is an expert at witty banter, but could have left out some of the raunchy puns. A quick read for anyone who wants an imaginative afternoon in Paris.

SUMMARY

Somewhere between dating and eternal bliss lies a secret world of glamour, opulence, decadence and the real amorous adventures of the haut monde.

Paris is a sexy, sinful romantic playground โ€” and what could be more thrilling than to be an American girl let loose in the City of Lights? Alexandra Ward is a Sorbonne student with a fabulous French boyfriend whoโ€™s just gone AWOL and a growing love affair with all things Parisian. She realizes her new life a la Francais feels entirely like play-acting - in a good way. But what happens when a playful flirtation with the CEO of an international luxury conglomerate turns into not just a โ€œdejeunerโ€ โ€”lunchโ€” at the Ritz, but diving for canary diamonds in the famous swimming pool of the Hotel Ritz? And when that same Master of the Monde (who just happens to be married, bien sur) asks Alexandra to be something more than a date but something, well, different than a girlfriend?
